A 21-year-old man will remain behind bars until he gives a deposition about a beating last year in Spanish Springs Town Square that claimed a man’s life.

Corey Alvut of Summerfield was taken into custody on Monday in Marion County.

Alvut has dodged depositions he was supposed to give in the death last year of McCall’s Tavern employee Austin Stevens. The 26-year-old died June 7, 2016 at Ocala Regional Medical Center of injuries suffered two days earlier in a beating that took place at the square.

Facing charges in the case are 20-year-old Brice Hall of Weirsdale and 19-year-old Nicholas Metcalfe of Belleview. Both remain free on bond.

Circuit Judge Lawrence Semento on Sept. 7 signed an order for Alvut’s arrest.
